Blake Swihart extended his hitting streak to 10 games Monday night, and he did so in dramatic fashion.
After entering the Boston Red Sox’s series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies in the 10th inning as a pinch hitter, Swihart sent the Fenway Park faithful home happy when he stroked a walk-off, ground-rule double to give his team a thrilling 2-1 win.
